Once I get out onstage, it's the same sort of basic production that it is anywhere else. But I might be a little bit aware that there might be people I know out there, who wondered where I was.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not from a theatrical background where people do like to work it out on some stage space.
There has to be an interaction of musicians on stage. Otherwise I feel too alone up there. When performing is really good, when it really works, maybe once every 15 shows, it's very special, and you realize that's why you do it.
People are used to us being onstage for a while.
I don't think of it so much as the shows I did or the film sets. I mean, sometimes you'll get a nice location, but it's more, 'Who am I meeting on a day-to-day basis?' Often the rehearsals are a lot more fun than the show itself.
Being in a recording studio is a very different feel from performing onstage. I mean, obviously, you can't just go in and do what you would do onstage. It reads differently.
I'm always trying out new stuff onstage. That's where I do all my writing.
In a strange way, I'm way more comfortable onstage than anywhere else.
I think performers are all show-offs anyway, especially musicians. Unless you show off, you're not going to get noticed.
There's nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There's nothing like being on a set where you are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That's the best job in the world.
When I'm on stage, it's like a different world ... me connecting with the audience. It's a surreal experience.
